Scott should proceed to Jenklnt0wn,
Penn, provided with letter TO Marony's
wife instructing her to give him the
package she was taking care of, as he
was to furnish bail with it for Marony.
Then they would both go south with the
remainder and make a fortune. Scott
was bailed ont and went to Jenkintown
as per arrangement. He met Mrs. Ma
rony on the road out from Jenkintown,
went back with her and got the money.
There it was in the original package,
$50, 500-only $500 short. Finally the
case against Marony was withdrawn in
New York, and he was taken TO Mont
gomery on a Tequisition for grand lar
ceny. He went to trial confident in the
States inability to convict him and en-
couraged by the public sentiment in his
favor. lie made hard fight until Scott's
name was called and he went on the
witness stand. Then he Immediately
pleaded guilty and was sent to the pen
itentiary for ten years. There was no
other method than the one adopted by
which the truth could have been estab-
lished.
THE MURDER OF MIsER.
'Another case we had was murder
case. This was only eight years ago. Her
man Schultey, of Schultey, a German
miser left Germany because of annoy
ance to which he was subjected in the
town in which he lived, and came to
America. lie had servant named Grum-
wald with him. Landing at New York,
they took lodging at small hotel off
tba RoNuartv on Tho ci1a II xuoc
called The Sum- They remained there
several days, at least Grumwald did,
while Schultey was looking around for
country place in which to settle down.
During his stay at the hotel Grumwald
told the landlord and a number of guests
all about old Schultey, of his great
wealth, and how he carried large sums of
money on his person, having no con-
fidencc in banks. He explained all his
masters particuarities, and related how
his master had fed him with food unfit
for animals when he didn't absolutely
keep him starving. Old man Schultey
went to NOrwalk, Conn, to look at a
place two miles out of town. He con-
cluded to buy it and did so. Coming
back to New York, he prepared to go to
Norwalk. Then he had quarrel with
Grumwald, and beat and abused him.
Grumwald concluded to find another en-
ployer, and quit old man Schultey. This
he told to a young German at the Sun,
named William Bucholz. He inquired
frequently of Grumwald concerning
Shultey's manner of habits, and finally
determined to apply for Grumwald's old
place Schultey told him be was poor
and couldn't afford servant, but Buch-
olz said he would go to work at any
price, and he was hired. Together they
went to the Grand Central Depot, on a
cart containing Shultey's goods when he
started for Norwalk Arriving there,
Schultey took his house, one part of
which was occupied by a family named
Waring. When they had been there a
couple of months Bucholz told the War
ings of all the money his master had,
and how he used to put it on the table
at night and wash his hands and face
with it and then sit and look at it for
hours with a pistol at each end of the
table. Bucholz slept in an adjoining
room, and Schultey would never count
his money until he had gone to into Buck
holz's room with candle and examined
his face to see if he was asleep He would
jump up suddenly from his money and
rush in on Bucholz, and very nearly
caught him looking several times. Once
he caught him by the the throat while
he was feigning sleep and accused him
of watching his money, When Schul-
tey bathed in the river near by he would
make Bucholz go off several hundred
yards from the bank, and lay his pistols
besides his clothes on the bank, so he
could shoot him if he came near
Schultey never bathed out of reach of
his pistols. 1t was Schultey's habit to
90 to New York once or twice every two
weeks to change his money, German
marks, into American money. Coming
back Schultey took train at New York
at 4. 30 p. NJ, which would bring him
home before dark. Taking later
train, he would reach home about dark.
From the place where he left the railroad
he had to pass through some timber to
his house. He always made Bucholz
walk in front of him on these and other
occasions. On the day of the murder
Schultey and Bucholz took the later
train from New York, and got off the
train about dusk, starting straightway
for the timber, Bucholz, as usual, in the
lead. Some time after, Bucholz ran into
the Warnings rooms and said his master
had been killed, while he (Bucholz) was,
as usual, a good distance ahead. Led
by Bucholz, the Warnings proceeded to
the woods, and there found Schultey
dead. his head cleft by some sharp,
heavy instrument. Bucholz said his
master had undoubtedly been attacked
by thieves. Schultey had on his person
at the time about $20.0 900 in German and
American money and tkis was thought
to be all he had, until, a Short time
arterward, Bucholz changed a $50 bill,
which bore a peculiar ink mark in one OF
the corners. This mark was on all other
bills found on the old man.
! "Bucholz was then suspected. An
ak was found at the Waring house COW
cred with blood. This, Bucholz said,
/ had been used to kill chickens, and the
/ blood was chicken blood. At the point
( at which Schultey was killed, it was dis
covered that an ambuscade had been
prepared, and a man could hide behind q

a man passing could not see. Every
thing was against Bucholz, but the case
was a slim one indeed. The German
